Which mythical creature has a goat head, lion body, snake tail, and wings?

Which mythical creature has a goat head, lion body, snake tail, and wings?

• A. Chimera
• B. Hydra
• C. Sphinx
• D. Minotaur

Answer: (A)

This question tests knowledge of mythical hybrids in Greek myth. The Chimera is the classic composite creature, described as a blend of animals: a lion-like front, a goat element in the midsection, and a serpent tail, and in many depictions it also has wings. That combination fits a goat component, a lion body, a snake tail, and wings, making it the best match for the description. The Hydra is a many-headed serpent without a goat head or wings; the Sphinx typically has a lion’s body with a human head (and rarely wings); the Minotaur has a human body with a bull’s head and lacks a serpent tail and wings.
